Kerry blames defeat on Bin Laden
Mr Kerry said he was proud of his presidential campaign, claiming it had brought “millions of new voters” into the politicalprocess. “Many Republicans say we beat their models by four or five points,” he said. “I won the youth vote. I won the independent vote. I won the moderate vote.” But, Mr Kerry said, he had faced a difficult task in persuading a country at war “to shift horses in midstream”.
Mr. Kerry also faced problems pursuading voters that an uninspiring politician promoting vague policies and strategies was a viable alternative to Mr. Bush, regardless of the incumbent president’s numerous faults.
